Hello Andrew, thanks for taking the time to speak with NERD TREK today. Please tell us about yourself and your company. Thanks Jonathan, my name is Andrew Collas and I am the writer/editor-in-chief of Zenith Comics. We recently started a Kickstarter campaign to get our first issue of HEROIC to print. We love Kickstarter projects, especially those dealing with comics or gaming! What sets your work apart from other comic books? I have for years lamented the lack of strong female characters in superhero comics or the over sexualization of those characters. As you can see demonstrated by the included character art, Lady America, our heroine, is a strong female that is neither a sex kitten or a damsel-in-distress. […]

Say what you want about the sad state of affairs that led to the destruction of this Static Shock DCnU series. But I have got to give major league mad props to cover artist Khary Randolph. The way Static looks, the set up of the composition, the sheer perfection of it all, really makes you want to pick up this book. I don’t knock McDaniel’s art, but I really would have loved to see this level of art throughout the book. In any case this marks the last book with McDaniel as writer, but he will continue the artist duties until issue 8. Check out the new Static Shock Trailer below and feel free to comment on what you think Will you be […]

Some superheroes are larger than life.Others are better than good. And others still are powerful beyond belief. Invincible is all three combined with something extra……..HE IS EPIC. Every issue, and every page, and every panel, every word, every line is nothing short of enjoyable. If you are not reading comics, this is one you will want to start with from issue one. Now I know it sounds like I’m totally “jocking” this book and I am. It’s that fricken good. I wouldn’t build it up as an extremely great book if I wasn’t so certain that it was. Robert Kirkman as a writer is solid (if you think i’m lying, check out the walking dead.) He can really hold a story together. The […]

So the 60’s and 70’s come along and there are a lot of books that make social commentary, which is no big shocker because many comics, since they have been around, have made some sort of social commentary or another about something, whether it was war, poverty or whatever….it seemed the best was done through Marvel comics but then DC released in Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane #106 “I Am Curious Black”. In it, Lois does a story on….get this….”Little Africa”, in Metropolis and the black folks are so distrusting of white people ,that they won’t even speak to her. She is also berated by a black man holding a “street meeting” for other black folks. Then in an attempt to “connect” with […]

Kill Shakespeare Volume 2: The Blast of War Kill Shakespeare written by Conor McCreery & Anthony Del Col, with art by Andy Belanger is an original series borrowing heavily from Shakespearean lore to craft an original and exciting story. The authors achieve this feat by taking the most famous of William Shakespeare’s characters and launching them wildly flailing into a intriguing story. In the world McCreery, Del Col, and Belanger have created, William Shakespeare is regarded either as a god-like figure or an arch-villain depending upon with whom one inquires. One thing is certain though, he is the creator and is to play a pivotal role in the destiny of the Shakespearean characters. Hamlet plays the role of lead character both in […]

Comicon and events like it paved the way for an overall acceptance and admiration for those willing to don costumes and put on make up to play roles outside their ordinary life. I for one always feel that as soon as the makeup or mask goes on, I really become this other person and adapt a new voice, accent, and mannerisms. It happens naturally and without any conscious effort, possibly due to my history of running D&D games and acting out the roles of various NPCs since I was eight. As acceptance of wearing adult costumes spreads and more people feel comfortable donning their otherworldly garb, the costume industry blossoms. Today I wanted to take the time to sit down […]

Marvel > DC Ok, I know that without DC, Marvel may not exist today. It’s not a chicken before the egg debate. DC came first, but first is not always best. In fact, without Marvel, DC may have gone under many years ago. It’s been a wonderful rivalry and relationship over the years. I want to be clear: Even though I think Marvel is better than DC, I still like DC. I never understood why someone would love one and hate the other. Why can’t we like both? I do. I just like one more than the other, that’s all. Why do I like Marvel best? Where do I start? In almost all comics, you have to be able to […]
